ok, i use nod32 for my virus scanner but i keep getting this virus that i can't seem to get rid of, so i downloaded avg 8.0 to see if it could. I want to keep avg to scan my computer sometimes but i don't want any resident shields running all the time or nothing. I disabled the resident shield in AVG options, and even stopped the service in the windows services.msc window, and restarted, but in task manager avgrsx.exe is still running, and when i try to end it, it just won't quit. how can i force a process to quit if it refuses to? anyone know?

It may be still running in the startup sequence.
Type Msconfig in the start, select the "Startup" tab.
Sroll down and see if you have any AVG associated functions running.If you have, untick them and restart to see if your problem has gone.

lol yeah ive done that man. i don't know if you're familiar with the program "autoruns", but ive disabled all the avg entries there as well. and still...this thing is in the task manager! i just want to quit it so i can delete the exe or something hah.

[davehc]

You say you "stopped" the service. And presumably you disabled it also?

[nogills]

sure did. thats why its so strange.

Bump for someone who has had the same problem. I am actually running AVG but don't have that program in my task manager.

Look in the registry under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run. You may also have to look under HKCU under the same folder.
